Romans P

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas’ website.Listen to the 16th podcast (23 minutes) in our series on Romans. Verses referred to are 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; 2 Timothy 4:18; Hebrews 7:25; 2 Thessalonians 2:14; Jude 21; and Psalm 44. For more no "already, but not yet," listen here. The word Paul seems to have made up is hypernikomen -- "we overwhelmingly conquer" or "we are super-victorious."Paul has now made his case. Lost humanity (chapters 1-3) can be justified by faith (chapters 4-5). As a result of our death with Christ (chapter 6) we can escape frustration (chapter 7), increasingly sharing in his glory (chapter 8). All of this is from God.
 Having completed his argument, Paul turns next to consider the place of Israel (chapters 9-11).Suggested for memorization: "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose" (8:28).
